rml2345 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 AFAIK it is "Wren-strie" but folk from that kneck of the horse are a law unto themselves. Also, would recommend selling anything to @Fumbler 112%/10 WUD EXCHANGE CASH FOR CAR AGEN. big_al_granvia, Cord Fourteener and Fumbler 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacquer Peel Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Green 854s for all. 4 stud or 5 stud? They do like to nom front wheel bearings more than any other car I've had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cord Fourteener Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Nice 850! I hope you love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacquer Peel Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 If 5 stud I just fitted one of these to my 850, good value, comes with all the nuts and bolts you need. If DIYing get lots of penetrating fluid and heat on the bolts that attach the bearing to the hub as they can be an arse https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/373494978252?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ixIvKZOgQN6&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=KdAJIrfYTum&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a 1993 car I'm fairly sure they're 4-stud wheels. They've had new discs recently so I wonder if @rml2345 can shed any light on the situation?

Lacquer Peel Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 They do look like the style of wheel that was fitted to 4 stud cars. Same applies with heat and penetrating fluid to the external torx bastard bolts. Fumbler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rml2345 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 That's a 5 stud car, I think they came in with the face-lift for the 1994 model year. It actually hit the road on my sixth birthday. From launch in June 1991 for the 92MY until the face-lift for the 94MY, 850s were all four stud. Fumbler and Lacquer Peel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacquer Peel Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I gave @Supernautnightmares by showing him a very early 850. Pray for Supernaut. Supernaut, rml2345 and DodgyBastard 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripped fred Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Nice car! My friend used to borrow his dad's 850 and take us out in it. I remember it was a petrol, 2.5 20v n/a I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
